Ed. Reg1stef-The morning being clear and
lovely, wind my way up the hillside at at
angle of about 45 degrees in order to catch g
glimpse of the beautiful elements of nature
aud as reach the top find a seat on huge
rock, nearly in the shape of an inverted cone
when my eyes catch sight of tiny dew drop
sparkling on a spire of grass. Gravity draws
it to the earth; chemical aft nifty binds to-
gether the atoms of hydrogen and Oxygen
Cohesion holds the molecules of water, and
gathers the drop into globe; heat keeps ii
in the liquid form; adhesion causes it 70
cling to the spire of grass. Thus it is tba;
the apparently simple elements OF nature be-
come full of fascination, il we only observe
them closely. wonder, TOO, if the rock on
which 1 sit was naturally formed in present
shape, or if it were long ages in forming, or
if it were shaped by erosion. But some one
would say consult your geology; but after
all it is only mans opinion, and my opinion
is, perhaps, just as good as Mr.. Geology's.
